Wow! Nice update! Took my R1T to the DCFC this morning (much lower energy rates). Charged to from 42% to 90% (I got a lot of things on the agenda for the weekend) in 42 minutes! The prior charge (about the same requirement) took nearly an hour. Like the graphics and I turned on MFA while...

Imagine! A whole workforce that never needs a union... or pee break!

My thoughts, exactly. Looks just like every other f-ing car on the road. I'm sure it will have a black interior, too.

Cheaper, yes, better...? From what I have heard off YouTube channels like Auto Line Daily, the quality and service are not entirely there. But then, this is a country that cornered the market in cheap, disposable products. I guess if I can spend $20k and get a low-end EV econo-box, I should...

My thoughts, too! Love MFA, but this might just be a bit much.

I wish I had the wherewithal (and space) to design and construct a stand-alone solar rig that could be dedicated to L1/L2 charging of my R1T. I learned enough from the solar kits to know what I don't know. As I mentioned, we have a comprehensive solar rig on our home but... that rig really was...

Several outlets (Harbor Freight Tools, for example) sell DIY 400w solar kits relatively cheap. I bought a couple back in the day to teach myself about solar. Source the other components from various places, sure! I could see the rig for around $8k. I have a fully solar rig on my home; 32...

GREAT to know! We just went to USAA from AAA. No issues or raised rates for having an EV. AAA DOUBLED our premium when we bought the Rivian.

Agreed! It's like they went to the "Jurassic Park School of Computer Programming"; the only way to fix anything is to completely reboot the system.

For one - Better mobile phone integration for hands-free texting response. Second - would love to use a USB music storage through the entertainment system. I REALLY detest Apple Music, but it's all we got that will play (sorta) my already-owned music.

An EV in mining makes perfect sense! If you have take the vehicle into a mine (think of something like the huge, cavernous salt mines under Lake Michigan), there is no pollution to worry about. I wonder how the vehicles are configured (battery, power, etc.)? It is WONDERFUL to see yet more...

That is WILD! Very cool!!! I live at sea level in RI; about the highest elevation the truck as been to since delivery was 380 feet above sea level. At best, I am can get in the mid 3's for regen power.

We do not have TOU rates here in RI; it's the same regardless if I charge mid-day or Midnight. I have solar on the house, and generally try and limit my charging to when the sun generating power to the house. Since our home is all electric, I am wary of the amperage that the EV can draw, and...

Well... with an August / September expected time frame for opening, we should hear some status soon...

Pretty much summed up here. The inspection is done via photos. When I traded in my Nissan Frontier, once I got to the Rivian center, that was the last I saw of it. It's DIFFERENT than if you use a car dealership where they will look for every frickin nit to knock do the value. Once you get...

I did that when we ordered our R1T - had an electrician wire an outlet into our garage's service panel. I printed down the Rivian charger specs and gave that to him. 50amp breaker to the proper NEMA receptacle.

It's Springtime here in RI and the Rivians are in full bloom. NOW I am seeing several when I am out and about.

Nope! Got to the R1T and nada; won't unlock. Tried bouncing the Bluetooth and that did not fix it; had to restart the phone. When we first got the R1T, it would happen... once every couple of weeks. Now the phone loses the connection to the truck almost daily. I'm getting into the habit of...

I have a Motorola RAZR (2023) that SUCKS as a PaaK. I usually restart the phone, but will just try bouncing the Bluetooth the next time it forgets where the R1T is. No issues with my husbands iOS or my older Android. It's the f-ing phone.

We hit the NY Intl. Auto Show a could weeks ago. We were totally underwhelmed by the EV's on display and on test drive; across all makes and models. With all the tariff panic talk and the prices starting to jack up, we're going to nurse a couple more years out of the 2015 Nissan Rogue. We'll...
